It is very important that there be publicity about the safety of pedestrians on the street.
Renee Gordon, Upper West Side
It's becoming very dangerous in the streets of New York City.
Victor, Upper West Side
I just think they're driving too fast.
Carol, Queens
Safety of passengers in the car is of the utmost importance.
Timothy, Bronx
They need to slow down and be more conscious of their driving habits.
Laverne, Queens
I know there have been very serious fatal accidents recently ... I hope that there will be something done about this situation.
Renee Gordon, Upper West Side
My main concern is the safety of the driver.
Linda, Bay Ridge
Sometimes cabs don't look adequately at who's out on the streets.
John, Staten Island
The problem here is there aren't enough yellow cabs.
Edwin, Glen Oaks
Most people in New York City are people of color and many of them travel by cabs, so the yellow cabs and the green cabs should be available to all of New York City's citizens.
Sam, Bed-Stuy

Join Us

in advocating for 3 key principles:

Safety

Quality Service

Reduced Environmental Impact

for NYC’s taxi and for-hire vehicle industry.

Sign our Petition to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Members of the Taxi and Limousine Commission.

New Yorkers deserve taxi regulations that make safety the highest priority.

That means every city-regulated taxi and for-hire vehicle should meet all federal crash, safety, and EPA standards even after they’re “hacked–up” for use as a taxi.

NYC should never allow taxi business practices or vehicle modifications such as unsafe partitions or bumper guards that can put passengers, drivers, or New Yorkers outside the vehicle at greater risk.

With so many taxis and for-hire vehicles on our streets, and so many New Yorkers depending on them, we deserve better.

I am joining Cab Riders United in asking you for immediate action to improve the safety, quality of service, and environmental impact of the city’s taxi and for-hire vehicle industry.
